Current Issues
Release automatically tries to install GRUB to the MBR and fails. Needs to install to the linux root partition. Uses an ATI x1600 video card and Xorg 7.1 has composite enabled by default, disabling the 3D in the fglrx driver. Known ALSA issue with external speakers. Patch available from http://www.mactel-linux.org. Some function keys are not bound by default to their intended action.

Notes
I needed to install the smp kernel from the repos and it works fine. Except for some of the known issues with this laptop that have user supplied patches, Edgy Eft works basically flawlessly. Since I use rEFIt, the bootloader needs to be installed to the linux root partion (sda3 for me), but in order to do that I needed to reboot after the bootloader install fails and update the partition using the rEFIt menu. After that I had to use the "rescue" mode and install lilo manually. Other than that everything else is Ubuntu ready
